Healthy Kids Running Series.
Healthy Kids Running Series is a 5-week running program, held in the spring and fall, for kids from age 2 to 8th grade. Each race series takes place once a week and offers age appropriate running events including the 50 yard dash, 75 yard dash, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile and the 1-mile run. Kids compete each week of the series for a chance to earn points, and at the end of the series, the top boy and girl with the most points in their respective age division receive a trophy.
Healthy Kids Running Series was created by Jeff Long, Founder and President of Pattison Sports Group, to provide kids with a positive, educational, and fun experience in the world of running. To combat the increasing rates of child obesity in America, Jeff designed a running program that would motivate kids to be healthy and active and provide a fun environment to improve their self-esteem. Jeff believed the program would encourage kids to adopt a “Get Up and Go” attitude.
